Or a great influence.

Also Fan Duel is giving 20% extra to start. Already in a couple baby tournaments. Just $2 each

I am trying to join Caesars and am having issues with the website/App. MGM seems to have the easiest interface right now. I will check out Fan Duel

Renamed thread. BetMGM is an official partner with the Arizona Cardinals and has a great sign-up offer, but other sportsbooks are catering to AZ fans as well: Caesar's, FanDuel, etc. all have introductory offers including free bets (with or often without a deposit).

Some crazy promos:

BetMGM: free $200
Caesar's: free $100 + $1 for every point scored by an AZ team this weekend
DraftKings: free $150
FanDuel: free $100
WynnBets: free $200

All promos are only good if you sign up prior to Thursday (tomorrow). Some do require a small bet with your own money or a small deposit.

I was really excited about $8,000 in risk free bets between the various app until I read the fine print and found out it's just another bet of the same amount you get if you lose. Not risk free, risk reduced(ish). Guess I have to stick to my normal budget bets after all.

Thank you brother! I am ready to roll.

So I figured out BetMGM this morning.

I got 4 free $50 bets and a $10 Thursday bet and a $10 Sunday bet.

These are legit bets where they pay in full. They can be used for Parlays, futures, or specials. I was expecting only 50/50 bets and you would only take the winnings, not be paid out in full.

I tossed my $10 free bet on Cowboys +8.5. That's a huge spread for the first Thursday night football game.

How did you do that? I need to find out where to bet this time and keep hoping around. With sports betting legal in CO, there are a ton of $1000 sign up risk free bets going on that I need to take advantage of.

I am loving this. The ASFN Forum came through. MGM App is incredible. Better than the version I used at the Aria in April

Or just put it into a different forum. I don't come here expecting to read threads about State Farm, either. In fact, considering how big fantasy football and sports betting is, just create an entire forum for it.

Edit: Yeah, there is a Fantasy forum. Just make it the Fantasy and Sports Book Forum. Solved.
Fantasy forum ? Let's leave sex out of it please

I thought this BetMGM book was just going to be an area or kiosk inside the stadium. I didn't realize it was a stand alone bldg with a full sports bar. It actually looks/sounds pretty cool. I can't wait to check it out. I like that you can reserve specific tables.
The one thing I find funny/ironic is they won't let fans tailgate on the great lawn or anywhere else during or after the game but they have no problem with the Sportsbook being open the whole time.

Has anyone else realized the connection between women's suffrage and the legalization of drinking, drugs, and gambling? Ever since women won the right to vote our morals seem to have gone right out the window. One could also add the legalization of gay marriage, banning the bible and prayer in our schools, the lowering of the age of consent, as well as the drinking age in some states. Nearly everything harmful and at one time considered indecent in our society, has been voted into law only after women won the right to vote. Can the Cardinals' further involvement with casinos and gambling be traced all the way back to August 18, 1920 and the creation of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution? I have only stated the facts, go ahead and tell me what you make of it.

Last yr vs UofA I bet $50 with NAU +27 or so and then it was with in a TD at half and the moneyline was still over +700 or so i bet another 10-15 on that. I won maybe $150 total. This year i have $30 at +2000 and $40 NAU and the pts which i got at 24.5

Online gambling is not legal here in New Mexico. Luckily, Albuquerque has a sports book at the Isleta casino but the con is that the casino is a thirty-minute drive away from my house.
